Probably 1-2 inches of snow here, can't be bothered to actually measure properly, it's 5am. 

Looks beautiful, the drive to work is going to be an absolute nightmare, though!

Tonbridge seems to be in the sweet spot for once. It's a white wonderland outside and the showers keep piling in.
Not seen this much snow for a few years.

Have just come off the phone with the chief in Exeter and new warnings will be issued within the hour regarding Thursday/Friday. It is not good news if you're looking for a major snow event here in the South-East. They are going with a SW event mainly and indications are it won't get this far East now.

Short-term. The change of wind direction (NE to ENE or E) will now occur early afternoon which sadly is when the showers will start to loose their kick. However, there will be widespread shower activity over the London this morning.

Cheif was happy with current warnings in place for London, South-East and East Anglia so no change expected here.

The models been all over the place with the track of the low,look at the track now to where they thought it would be ,it’s miles further South,I wouldn’t trust any forecast ,until about 12hours away

Very little to speak of here in Herne bay. This place is the pits. What's so nauseating is for lots of people try couldn't really care less if it snows it just adds something to their conversations for me as I get older it's been something truly special to see the Synoptics creep into reality only to deliver very little for where I live it's sad and that update from Exeter doesn't bode well for the South East for the weekend ... Roll on spring

Has anyone got a decent radar image of any snow headong ashford to folkestone

 

We got great snow at 7 last night and nothing much since but met office forecast heavy snow the next few hours

 

It looks like a streamer is running to north of ashford though not reaxhing us

 

Maidstone -yes looking at every traffic cam on motorways they look like a big hit! Snow ploughs everywhere!

That is slow. It does look like it's heading right for you. I hope it gets you. A reward for your patience.

For us Ashfordians it was very much a case of so near and yet so far!  Ah well, keep watching.

I think it might be about to change a little for Ashford.   There has been a gap in the PPN but I think it’s filling in

Decent amount over Gillingham now. METO amber extended to midday as well means we have 6 more hours possibly.
